so my junior TA quit so we have to hire a new senior TA for next year. this means that first year students are swarming all around me,

kissing my ass more than usual, asking me to hire them.

I have narrowed down my replacement to three people. I interviewed one of them last friday and have two more yet to talk to.

the one I spoke to on friday has emailed me three times so far today, demanding to know why I'm not just giving the position to him, why I'm interviewing the other people.

like because he applied first, he should get the job? it's kind of maddening. this is not how jobs are awarded in the united states, varun!

He obviously doesn't have the qualifications for the position. - TaurusII Apr 13, 09:12
I believe the reason you didn't get the job, Timmy, is because you're a dick. -- nm - Mop (239 lbs) Apr 13, 09:10
That's unacceptable that he's emailed you about that issue, much less 3 times -- nm - MDH Apr 13, 09:09 5
- update: now he wants to meet with me, today. at 12:30. "I would like to meet you at 12:30 today." dude, I have lunch plans. do you have no idea how - mandy lane has totally lost track of days Apr 13, 09:13 3
  - he sounds like some pathetic little man after you just broke up with him, begging for another chance. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 13, 09:16 1
    - *totally.* I should beat him up at a party or something. -- nm - mandy lane has totally lost track of days Apr 13, 09:18
  - Drop him like a hot potato. -- nm - TaurusII Apr 13, 09:14
- One email, thanking for the opportunity and reiterating why he'd be best, would be fine. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 13, 09:09
I'm surprised his mom hasn't called you yet. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 13, 09:09 1
- Winner. haha -- nm - MDH Apr 13, 09:10
i'd drop him just for that -- nm - zork Apr 13, 09:08 1
- Sounds like he'd be a high-maintenence nightmare. - Cuzzin Todd Apr 13, 09:10

- actually, the other two candidates are both kind of hot. dreadfully dim, but vaguely hot. -- nm - mandy lane has totally lost track of days Apr 13, 09:12 5

    - dude! my number one rule when I got here was "don't jam any classmates." like I'm going to break it now? I;m not *that* bored. -- nm - mandy lane has totally lost track of days Apr 13, 09:15 3

        jenny keeps saying the same thing: you can totally come out and get hammered with us now! nobody cares about your professionalism now! - mandy lane has totally lost track of days Apr 13, 09:22 1
